Fox Creek Winery is my favorite winery in McLaren Vale. Their Vixen Sparkling Shiraz and other wines are excellent and I always use them for functions and entertaining.

Shifty Lizard Brewing

We’re pretty damn serious about making good beer and having some fun here at Shifty Lizard, and we are reasonably reasonable about doing it responsibly. The beer is what brought us here, it’s why we do what we do, but ultimately the fun is what actually matters. It’s central to our branding, our brewery taphouse in Willunga, our team, and in our beer. You can taste in every bottle with new flavours, scents and sensations and eyeball it on our labels and with every new shifty experience or location. You know you want to join us for a good fun beer. Go on.

d'Arenberg

The idea to build the d'Arenberg Cube came to Chief Winemaker Chester Osborn in 2003. Inspired by the complexities and puzzles of winemaking, Chester created the idea of a cube-shaped building. Each of the five levels have been carefully designed to entice and excite the senses, including features such as a wine inhalation room, a virtual fermenter, a 360degree video room, and many other tactile experiences. Visitors are encouraged to explore the Alternate Realities Museum, located on the ground floor, and view the many art installations on display. The tasting room is located on the top floor, and is open 7 days a week 10am - 5pm.

We were a little concerned that this place had been too hyped up and overrated but it was actually an amazing experience even for me who doesn't actually enjoy wine all that much. The cube is impressive and it's worth just going to get a photo. But I can also highly recommend the tastings on the top floor. Our wine guy James was super friendly, really attentive and engaging, and made it feel like quiet a personal experience even when there were so many people around in the tasting room. I recommend getting there first thing in the morning otherwise it gets super busy. When we left there were people having to line up to get in. And I wouldn't bother with the gallery. Just pay the $15 for the rest of the experience and it should be a pretty enjoyable time!

Coriole Winery

Coriole Vineyards was founded by Hugh and Molly Lloyd in 1967. Coriole is still owned by the Lloyds and is now managed by second and third-generation family members. The estate is situated in the undulating hills of the densely planted McLaren Vale region just within sight of the sea and less than an hour from Adelaide. The original farmhouses were built in 1860 and are now the epicentre of the garden and cellar door at the winery. The original vineyards were planted in 1919. Shiraz is the great tradition of McLaren Vale going back over 150 years, and is the major variety planted on the estate. Coriole has been an Australian pioneer of Sangiovese and Italian varieties since 1985.
